This Japanese-style Type 99 sniper rifle is a new generation of military sniper rifle that has been improved on the basis of the Type 97 sniper rifle.
The bullets used are no longer the 6.5mm caliber bullets used in the Type 97 sniper rifle, but 7.7mm caliber bullets.
This Type 99 sniper rifle has a longer and thicker barrel, and uses reduced-charge bullets to weaken the characteristics of the launch and avoid exposure.
On the battlefield, once a sniper is exposed, his life will be threatened.
No unit will ignore the threat of enemy snipers.
Once the location of the enemy sniper is discovered, most of them will directly cover the area where the sniper is, regardless of the loss of artillery fire.
Under such circumstances, even the most elite sniper would have a narrow escape.
But in fact, the firing characteristics of the Type 99 sniper rifle are much more obvious than those of the Type 97 sniper rifle.
A larger caliber bullet will expose more obvious smoke when it is fired. In addition, a longer and thicker barrel cannot completely offset the sound when it is fired.
Later, at the armory, Dong San personally installed a silencer device on the Type 99 sniper rifle, which greatly weakened the firing characteristics of the Type 99 sniper rifle in Wang Xikui's hands.
At this moment, there is a distance of more than 500 meters.
After the gunshot sounded, it was already very faint when it reached the direction of Taiyuan City Gate.
It is basically impossible to determine the location of Wang Xikui based on this weak gunshot.
The sniper location chosen by Wang Qikui was also very particular, as it was just outside the effective range of the Japanese Type 89 grenade.
Before entering the ambush, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan had explained this point repeatedly.
Shen Quan saw from the telescope that the Japs at the gate of the city were mostly equipped with grenade launchers, so he repeatedly told Wang Xikui that his ambush location must be outside the effective range of the Japs grenade launchers.
In this way, even if you are accidentally exposed, you will not be covered by the enemy's firepower.
The sudden sound of gunfire.
Taiyuan City, at the North Gate.
Takeda Eijiro, the head of the Japanese secret service in Taiyuan City, who was standing and smiling kindly, fell down at the sound.
On his chest, the point where the bullet hit quickly spread out a circle of bright red, quickly saturating the military uniform.
This scene was too sudden.
Since Wang Xikui's sniping point was five hundred meters away, bullets propagated faster than sound in the air. Takeda Eijiro was shot first, and more than a second later, the faint sound of gunfire came over.
Seeing Eijiro Takeda, who was still smiling, suddenly fell down in front of him, Lu Daxian, who was standing to the left of Eijiro Takeda, was stunned.
He had no idea what was going on.
After the faint sound of gunshots was heard, the Japanese adjutant's expression changed drastically. He threw himself in front of Takeda Eijiro who collapsed and shouted: "It's the sound of a sniper rifle. There is a sniper. Quick, protect Mr. Lieutenant Colonel!"<
/p>
The words have not yet finished.
Boom——
Two artillery shells landed directly on the area where the Japanese troops were.
Five or six Japs were knocked over on the spot, and many of the surrounding Japs were also seriously injured by fragments.
Then there was a sudden sound of gunfire, coming from the direction of Liu Cai, deputy commander of the 251st Regiment.
A platoon leader picked up the rifle in his hand and knocked down a Japanese soldier more than a hundred meters away with one shot. While re-cocking the gun, he put the muzzle of the gun against the head of the deputy commander Liu Cai from the back and shouted in a low voice.
: "If you want to survive, just shout to me as I taught you!"
Liu Cai hesitated a little.
A platoon leader directly pressed his gun into Liu Cai's head.
Liu Cai, who cherished his life, could no longer care so much, and immediately shouted: "Tuanzuo, I have already taken advantage of the plan and got rid of the old Japanese Takeda as planned. Let's do it!"
As soon as these words came out.
On Lu Daxian's side, the expressions of the officers of the 251st Regiment all changed.
Lu Daxian looked like he had seen a ghost.
Old Liu, this bastard, is he crazy? What nonsense is this?
As for Eijiro Takeda, there are quite a few Japanese who can understand Chinese.
The Japanese adjutant, Eijiro Takeda's deputy, was angry because of Eijiro Takeda's attack.
Liu Cai's voice came, and the look on Lu Daxian's face was quite wonderful.
How can the Japanese adjutant think too much? Add up the series of things in front of him, and his thoughts will become clear immediately:
The 251st Regiment secretly rebelled, used a trick to pretend to surrender, and then secretly killed the agency chief. They took the opportunity to cause chaos and wanted to eliminate their own group.
A hundred meters away, the deputy commander of Na Lu Duoxian was leading the soldiers of the 251st Regiment to fire continuously, including many light machine guns and five or six grenade launchers, heading towards the city gate.
Continuous bombardment.
Could everything in front of me have nothing to do with him?
"The 251st Regiment has rebelled. Immediately retreat to the city gate to fight back and eliminate these bastards!"
Amidst the roar of artillery fire and the hail of bullets, the Japanese adjutant gritted his teeth and ordered, while calling the two Japanese soldiers, he carried Eijiro Takeda's body and retreated towards the city gate.
"Your Majesty, Major, please listen to my explanation. This is really not our 251 regiment..."
"Baga!"
Bang!
The Japanese adjutant heard Lu Daxian's voice and saw Lu Daxian.
At this moment, the Japanese adjutant was so angry that he would not listen to his explanation. He pulled out the gun in his waist and fired with his hand.
But in the panic, the Japanese adjutant's bullet missed slightly and hit Lu Daxian's shoulder.
Lu Daxian was shot in the shoulder, and he groaned in pain. He didn't dare to explain, and hurriedly evacuated under the cover of the surrounding soldiers.
"His little devil dares to hurt our group, brothers, fight with the little devil!"
A company commander shouted and took the lead in commanding the soldiers of the 251st Regiment to fire at the Japanese who were retreating towards the city gate.
It's now a complete mess.
Liu Cai, deputy commander of the rear group, pretended to be commanding under the command of the platoon leader.
In fact, it was a platoon leader commanding the Eighth Route Army soldiers disguised as soldiers of the 251st Regiment to fight.
As for Lu Daxian, after Lu Daxian was shot, the soldiers also started shooting at the Japanese.
The voice of deputy commander Liu Cai previously confused not only the little Japs, but also the officers and soldiers of the 251st Regiment.
There were many officers and soldiers in the 251st Regiment, and they even thought that Lu Duoxian was taking advantage of his scheme and deliberately pretended to surrender just to come to Taiyuan City to beat up the little Japs.
When they thought of this, these officers and soldiers felt extremely happy.
The company commander of the 251st Regiment held a machine gun and fired at the Japanese who were retreating at the city gate. At the same time, he covered Lu Daoxian's retreat and praised:
"Tuanzuo, you are so awesome. Just before, I misunderstood you. I really thought you were taking us to be the devil's dogs! It turns out that you deliberately used the trick to kill the little devil. It was so enjoyable.
Yes, my brother will be with you for the rest of his life!"
Noh Da Hyun: "???"
I'm special...
"Brothers, everyone protect Tuan Zuo and follow Tuan Zuo's plan to beat up the little devil!"
Noh Da Hyun: "..."
But what else can he say now?
Should I shout at the top of my lungs:
Brothers, have you misunderstood? I really have no intention of taking advantage of the little devil. I came here sincerely to surrender to the little devil?
If you say this, it will be too unlucky for you.
Noh Da Hyun is not stupid, he can only pretend to be confused because he understands.
Now he just wants to catch that bastard, Deputy Captain Liu, slap him twice, and then ask him what is going on.
Who gave Lao Liu the courage to take the initiative to arrange manpower, fire at the Japanese, and even killed Takeda?
But before Lu Daoxian could find Liu Cai, the Japanese retreated to the city gate and started a fierce counterattack.
Fortunately, there are not many Japanese and puppet troops at this city gate.
Time goes back to two hours ago.
The Japanese adjutant suggested: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, the Chief of the Agency, is not from my clan, so his thoughts must be different. Although the 251st Regiment has promised to surrender to the imperial army, there are quite a lot of them coming this time. If they suddenly cause chaos and harbor evil intentions, we will be in the direction of the city gate."
The permanent troops will be insufficient, so it is better to dispatch troops in advance and be on guard at all times."
However, Eijiro Takeda, the head of the Japanese agency, smiled and shook his head and said, "Are you worried that the 251st Regiment will pretend to surrender and attack Taiyuan City in the name of surrender?"
The Japanese adjutant did not speak, but the meaning was obvious. He was worried about this.
Eijiro Takeda smiled confidently: "Don't worry, this is absolutely impossible.
Everything must be done with a motive. The 251st Regiment pretended to surrender and attacked Taiyuan City. What did they do for that?
Our Taiyuan City is tightly defended, and coupled with the troops from surrounding counties, we can attack at any time. If the 251st Regiment dares to attack at the gate of the city, they will also suffer heavy losses. Are more than a thousand men and horses just to replace us? In addition, we have not been dealing with the 251st Group for more than a year or two. What kind of rabble is this 251st Group? What kind of person is this Lu Daxian who regards wealth as life and is greedy for life and afraid of death? You and I
Don’t you understand yet?
Such a coward, how dare he feign surrender and sneak attack on our Empire of Japan?
If Lu Duoxian really had this intention, he would definitely not be in Taiyuan City. He would take the initiative to set the surrender handover point near the station of his 251st Regiment. That is the best place. He can withdraw his troops at any time.
Resident.
Taiyuan City is far away from where he is stationed. Will he give up the near for the far?"
After Takeda Eijiro's analysis, the Japanese adjutant had nothing to say.
From these aspects, No Dahyun indeed has no motive for rebellion.
In addition, the two sides have reached the latest negotiation a few days ago, agreeing to give the 251st Regiment a group army establishment and appoint Lu Daxian as the commander of the Fourth Group Army. This condition is quite good.
How could Noh Da-hyun betray him at this critical moment?
Back to the battle that is breaking out in front of us.
Because of Eijiro Takeda's self-confidence, no additional Japanese troops were stationed in the direction of the northern gate of Taiyuan City. Therefore, after the firepower exchange between the two sides, although the Japanese army had the city gate as a support, the 251st Regiment was still outnumbered.
Coupled with a sudden sneak attack.
Both sides suffered casualties.
After the gunfire rang out, a large group of Japanese and puppet troops immediately rushed towards the north gate of Taiyuan City, which was tightly guarded.
"Suppressive fire, hold down these bastards from the 251st Regiment, and avenge the agency chief."
The Japanese adjutant gave the order and directed the battle from the top of the city.
On the hilltop in the distance, looking through the telescope at the intensifying battle at the city gate, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, good fight, these stubborn soldiers, I don't believe that after the battle in front of you is over, if you surrender to the little devil, others will still want you."
"The leader said it well. If you don't want to kill the Japanese with a borrowed knife, we will find a way to let you kill the Japanese."
"Company Commander Sun, we are also prepared. As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrive in Taiyuan City, the 251st Regiment will definitely be defeated. Maybe there will even be a mass escape. We will prepare an ambush according to the pre-planned plan."
"Yes!" Sun Desheng responded.
The battle at the city gate soon turned into what Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan predicted.
After the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements quickly arrived in the city, relying on the defensive offensive at the city gate, they launched a fierce counterattack with firepower. The 251st Regiment soon became unable to withstand it.
The casualties were nearly half of the battalion.
The regiment leader Lu Duoxian quickly ordered: "Withdraw, inform everyone, withdraw quickly!"
The ordering soldiers dispersed to the left and right, shouting Noh Da-hyun's orders.
Only then did the officers and soldiers of the 251st Regiment wake up.
Good guy, just a moment ago everyone was determined to surrender to the Japanese and become traitors!
In front of me, I was selflessly fighting with the little devil for a long time.
Only then did I remember that my life was at stake.
The situation quickly reversed.
The Japanese artillery fire became more and more fierce, and the machine gun firepower also increased, and even several heavy machine guns appeared on the city gate.
Under the condescending firepower, on Lu Daxian's side, the soldiers of the 251st Regiment evacuated in an orderly manner at first, but later, it was an undisciplined escape.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
They fled to a distance of more than 800 meters, and some people were hit by heavy machine gun bullets and were directly seriously injured or killed.
On the way to retreat, Lu Daxian was still thinking about the idiot Liu Cai, the deputy commander. He covered his shoulders and ran while shouting:
"Where is the deputy captain? Have any of you seen the deputy captain?"
A platoon leader shouted: "Commander, the deputy commander is here...it's just that the deputy commander was beaten to death by the Japanese."
Lu Daxian was stunned for a moment, then ran over after hearing the sound, and saw the deputy captain Liu Cai who had fallen to the ground.
Liu Cai was shot twice in the front, and the bullets came from the direction of the city gate.
There was a moment of sadness, followed by a lot of curses:
"Damn it, damn Old Liu, he's going to die if he dies. At least explain to me what the situation was before."
At the city gate in the rear, the Japanese and puppet troops had already chased them out. Lu Duoxian cursed a few times and without thinking, ordered to continue retreating.
Why did Liu Cai and his party take the initiative to open fire on the Japanese army?
The only people who knew the situation were Liu Cai and the soldiers of the 251st Regiment around the 20th.
Just the running away in front of me is a mess.
No one could be found at all. Lu Daoxian was full of doubts and could only be a mute eating coptis, unable to speak.
The little devils on the Japanese side were almost furious. The originally good handover ceremony was ruined, and even the head of the agency, Eijiro Takeda, died because of it.
This 251 group is really hateful.
In the direction of the north gate of Taiyuan City, the Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the city gate and continued to pursue the 251st Regiment. At the same time, the news also spread to the counties in several defense zones around Taiyuan City. All Japanese and puppet troops were dispatched to intercept the 251st Regiment.
On the side of the 251st Regiment, dozens of soldiers who were fleeing at the front shouted one after another:
"Brothers, have you seen the mountain ahead? Run to the foot of the mountain to survive!"
Some former soldiers of the 251st Regiment who followed: "..."
If there were no bullets in my pocket, I would really want to turn around and shoot these guys.
These Eighth Route Army were too damaged. They had previously tricked the 251st Regiment and harmed the deputy commander, but now they were actively leading them to the foot of the mountain. Did they pretend that they didn't know that there were Eighth Route Army troops hiding at the foot of the mountain? After shouting, the platoon leader kicked the soldier from the 251st Regiment in front on the buttocks and cursed: "Damn it, what are you looking at? If it wasn't for the sake of being Chinese, I would really
I want to kill you with one shot, but we are the ones who saved you, do you know? If we hadn’t appeared, you would have really become dogs for the little devils.”
This is true, but it may not have any effect on people who have no shame.
These former soldiers of the 251st Regiment cooperated honestly, mostly just to survive.
On the platoon leader's side, after the soldiers finished shouting one by one, most of the soldiers of the 251st Regiment that collapsed ran towards the foot of the mountain.
This is another part of the battle plan discussed between the platoon leader and Shen Quan.
At this moment, Shen Quan had already led his men to ambush at the foot of the mountain.
When Lu Daxian took the rest of the team, they finally escaped.
The ambush team led by Shen Quan suddenly took action and directly surrounded Lu Daxian and his party.
Although there were not many manpower on Shenquan's side, their positions were relatively scattered. In addition, there were a large number of light machine guns, which were so bright that the soldiers of the 25th Regiment who fled over were frightened to see them.
"No one is allowed to move, I will beat anyone who touches him to death!"
Sun Desheng held a light machine gun and shouted at the top of his voice.
Eighth Route Army!
Why did the Eighth Route Army appear here?
A platoon leader who was mixed in with the deserters of the 251st Regiment quickly shouted: "Brothers of the Eighth Route Army, make no mistake, we are the national army, our own people!"
Lu Daxian looked at the long row of figures and thought to himself, this guy is smart, his reactions are quick enough, and he said everything I wanted to say.
Sun Desheng, who was holding a machine gun, glanced at the platoon leader, suppressed his laughter, and shouted: "National Army? What nonsense? Before you even reached the gate of Taiyuan City, I was staring at you. I am watching you and the little devils."
It's quite affectionate. Are you going to surrender to the little Japanese and become a traitor?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the soldiers of the 251st Regiment changed their expressions, and some even lowered their heads slightly.
There is still some shame.
The company commander of the 251st Regiment shouted with great conviction: "Eighth Route Brothers, you have misunderstood. When we went to Taiyuan City this time, we originally thought we were going to surrender to the Japs, but you don't know that our regiment,
They led us to fake a surrender. You saw the previous battle, how many Japanese we killed!"
Noh Da Hyun: "..."
"Commander, please say something!" the company commander said anxiously.
Lu Daoxian was let out by everyone, but his old face was tense. He nodded quickly and replied: "That's it, brothers of the Eighth Route Army, please don't misunderstand me."
A voice laughed immediately and walked out of Chenquan from beside Sun Desheng.
Chen Quan looked directly at Lu Daoxian and laughed: "Captain Lu, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless. Are you still unwilling to tell the truth now?"
Lu Duoxian was startled, then pretended to be confused and said, "Brother Eighth Route Army, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand."
Chen Quan mocked loudly: "Soldiers of the 251st Regiment, I just want to ask you a question. Just before the previous battle started, did any of you ever think that this was a false surrender? Didn't they all go with your regiment leader?
What do you think of being a traitor to the Japanese?"
"If it was really a fake surrender, wouldn't even the soldiers hide it?"
"Didn't the result be a defeat as usual, with the entire regiment defeated and running here?"
Ask to the point.
The soldiers were dumbfounded, and even the sworn company commander hesitated.
Yes!
If this is really a fake surrender, not to mention the soldiers in the regiment, the officers must know the situation, right?
But until the battle started, no officer in the 251st Regiment knew the situation clearly.
"Eighth Route Chief, what is going on?"
The company commander’s questions and answers.
Sun Desheng shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over all the firearms to me first."
The Japanese and puppet troops were chased all the way to the foot of the mountain. At this moment, there were only four to five hundred people of the 251st Regiment left, and the soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When Sun Desheng shouted, he was threatened by an exaggerated number of light machine guns.
The soldiers of the 251st Regiment honestly disarmed.
At this time, the communications troop arrived and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese are chasing towards the foot of the mountain, they are not far away."
As soon as they heard that the Japs were coming, the soldiers of the 251st Regiment immediately started a commotion.
Chen Quan shouted at the soldiers of the national army: "Soldiers should behave like soldiers. I hope that fighting against the little devil today can make you wake up."
"Don't forget, we are Chinese, and the Japs are invading our country. Are you still willing to be dogs for the Japs?"
"I confiscated these guns and ammunition from you."
"But our Eighth Route Army has principles and will not use your weapons in vain. You should seize the time and continue to escape. We will hold off the Japanese and puppet troops here for a while."
"As for the situation of your group leader, you can ask the brothers in front of you."
"Okay, everyone, get out!"
Chen Quan began to drive away the people, and then, while the soldiers of the 251st Regiment looked stunned, a platoon leader mixed in the crowd led dozens of soldiers into the Eighth Route Army camp.
"???"
The soldiers of the 251st Regiment, who had question marks on their faces, some were quick to respond, but they came to their senses immediately.
They all understand.
It was definitely these Eighth Route Army troops who were secretly causing trouble and doing good things. They secretly hid in the deputy commander's team, and then suddenly fired at the Japanese, which led to the situation in front of them.
Lu Daxian, who also came to his senses, gritted his teeth with hatred.
"You, how could your Eighth Route Army be so mean?"
Lu Daxian couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Shen Quan.
Chen Quan sneered and said: "Commander Lu is a role model for the national army in resisting the Japanese behind enemy lines. He really knows people but not their hearts. In private, he actually leads the team to surrender to the Japs and becomes a traitor. It is really unexpected."< /p>
"Are you despicable? Or are we despicable?"
"If it weren't for us, now you, Captain Lu, and your 251st Regiment, would have become a team of traitors, right?"
"Lu, you old boy, stop talking nonsense and take the initiative to become traitors because of you. I will wipe you out in this place and no one will dare to say anything. If you don't leave, you still expect the little Japs to come. You go and fight with the little Japs." If the Japanese explain it clearly, will they become traitors again?"
Lu Duoxian hesitated and admitted defeat. Thinking that the station he had developed for so many years was still there, and he still had two-thirds of the team in hand, he felt reassured.
"Brothers, retreat back to your base!"
Chen Quan said: "Oh, by the way, Commander Lu, don't forget about the fact that you led your regiment to surrender to the enemy today. Maybe in a few days, our regiment leader will come and talk to you in person!"
Lu Daxian, who was about to lead the troops to evacuate, stopped for a moment and his expression turned ugly.
If he failed to surrender to the Japanese army this time, he would have lost the rice instead of stealing the chicken.
I have completely offended the little devil before my eyes.
He also took the blame for killing Eijiro Takeda, and it is basically impossible for him to surrender to the Japs.
I’m afraid we will have no choice but to resist Japan in the future.
If the Eighth Route Army spreads this matter again and makes a big fuss.
By then, not only his 251st Regiment will be slapped in the face, but also Boss Jiang’s face. He, the 251st Regiment, will also have no chance of staying with the National Army.
It may even become the target of public criticism.
Losing their reputation and ruining their reputation was almost within the thought of these Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of them.
Thinking of these consequences, Lu Daoxian could not help but tremble a few times, and quickly smiled at Shen Quan and said:
"Brothers of the Eighth Route Army, please tell your group leader that he was obsessed with something and took the wrong path. I will definitely give him a satisfactory explanation for this matter. I also ask your group leader to take care of your brother and don't let him be cornered. ”
"Okay, I will definitely bring Commander Lu's words," Shen Quan said.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lu Daxian said hurriedly, while subconsciously wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
